Links in Arms Deal To Peru That Backfired What seemed a modest arms deal last spring turned out to be anything but, as C.I.A. officials told the Clinton administration that they had discovered that thousands of rifles had gone not to Peru but to leftist guerrillas in Colombia, perhaps the most baneful of Washington's enemies in Latin America. The C.I.A. had given the green light to the sale. A3 Muted Hopes for Mideast Talks The White House said the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, and the Palestinian leader, Yasir Arafat, will meet separately with President Clinton in the coming days, but with Mr. Clinton by then a lame duck president, expectations were low that he can achieve much beyond trying to exercise a calming influence.
